A map made from your own photos
Every photo you have already knows where and when it was taken. Kelavi uses that, and nothing else, to put your life on a map.
What Kelavi reads
Most cameras and phones write two things into a photo file: where it was taken and when. That information is already yours — it travels with the file, and it is what makes a photo map possible without you tagging anything by hand.
- The coordinates stored in the photo.
- The date and time the photo was taken.
- The size and sharpness of the image, used only to set aside photos that would not hold up.
Photos without a location
Plenty of photos have no coordinates at all — scans, screenshots, images saved from a message, or photos taken with location switched off. Kelavi cannot place those on a map and says so instead of guessing. Nothing is invented from a filename or a folder.
Not a photo gallery
A gallery shows you everything you ever took, newest first. Kelavi does the opposite: it keeps only what you choose, and arranges it by place and period so that a shape appears — the years you kept returning somewhere, the summer you moved, the city you kept coming back to.
Where the privacy line runs
Reading a photo happens on your own device. A photo you mark as a place but not as a memory is never uploaded — only its coordinates and date are, and those are encrypted before they are stored.
